The New Year Cognitive Shift

This is going to be a scattered collection of thoughts.  You may or may not follow it, hopefully you do.First, I hate New Year's resolutions.  They seem like a good idea, but if they're good enough to do on New Year's Day then why aren't they good enough to do at any other time?  Is …

Day 35 – Fourth Time

I have not missed many run/walk/jogging opportunities lately (we'll simplify this to call them runs).  If I have not run it's been because I've been sick or it's rained...and it's rained a lot over the last two weeks.  However, I am glad that I didn't run for one of the weeks as it gave me …

Day 17 – Fourth Time

    Over the last year, or so, I've been "working out" off and on.  A little over 14 months ago I was working out very regularly, and eating very healthy.  Then I became stressed out about a project at the office and then I changed jobs...then I all but stopped working out.  I had …

6June13 – Day 31 (3rd time)

I've been eating a lot better over the last month - I didn't really eat horrifically before.For the last week I've been running 15 minutes a day and actually doing well.  I've completed my runs without feeling like I'm going to throw up or like I feel like I'm going to die.  It's been fantastic! …

Day 3 — 09may13

I am not off to a great start posting updates.  Today i have been laid up in bed with some illness that causes nausea, fever, chills, malaise, joint soreness, and more awesomeness.I have not taken a pic today, yet.  im not really in a picture taking mood, but i should do one.

Day 1 — for the third time (6May13)

Here I am again for another Day 1.I've had several big changes in my life over the last year. Each change has stopped my momentum in improving my health. Over the last months I have started to change my habits about how work works. For more than 13 years I have worked from the time …

Day 51 – 5 Mar 13

I would like to tell you that I've been working out, eating right and have lost 20 pounds.  I have finally made time during the day to eat right and even time during lunch to workout.  I've been making that time because if I don't then I'll never have the time; I'll always let work …

Day 36? – 19 Feb 13

Well, I started my next phase last month, and then I was attacked by the flu and a pulled back muscle at the same time.  That may well have been the four greatest days of my life.  I've had a lot of stress lately from my personal life (someone I did business with, but they …

Day 2 – 15 Jan 13

It says Day 2, but it's the first day of my actual workout schedule.I was completely not prepared for this morning at 6:45...and it was crappily cold in my room which made it extremely hard to get out of bed.  I did run up and down the stairs a few times for my workout. I …

Day 1 – 14Jan13

The last time I worked out I spent 65 days working out at least 3 times a week.  I ate pretty well and lost about 10ish pounds.  I stopped because I began prepping for an interview for a new job, then studied to stay up with the new job and then I wanted to let …
